ISL
Low Power Ambient Light and Proximity Sensor with
Internal IR-LED and Digital Output
ISL29043
Features
The ISL29043 is an integrated ambient and infrared
light-to-digital converter with a built-in IR LED and I2C Interface
(SMBus Compatible). This device uses two independent ADCs
for concurrently measuring ambient light and proximity in
parallel. The flexible interrupt scheme is designed for minimal
microcontroller utilization.
• Internal LED + Sensor = Complete Solution
• Works Under All Light Sources Including Sunlight
• Dual ADCs Measure ALS/Prox Concurrently
• <1.0μA Supply Current When Powered Down
• Temperature Compensated
• Pb-Free (RoHS compliant)
For ambient light sensor (ALS) data conversions, an ADC
converts photodiode current (with a light sensitivity range up to
2000 Lux) in 100ms per sample. The ADC rejects 50Hz/60Hz
flicker noise caused by artificial light sources.
Intelligent and Flexible Interrupts
• Independent ALS/Prox Interrupt Thresholds
• Adjustable Interrupt Persistency
- 1/4/8/16 Consecutive Triggers Required Before Interrupt
For proximity sensor (Prox) data conversions, the built-in driver
turns on an internal infrared LED and the proximity sensor ADC
converts the reflected IR intensity to digital. This ADC rejects
ambient IR noise (such as sunlight) and has a 540μs
conversion time.
Applications
• Display and Keypad Dimming Adjustment and Proximity
Sensing for:
- Mobile Devices: Smart Phone, PDA, GPS
- Computing Devices: Laptop PC, Netbook, Tablet PC
- Consumer Devices: LCD-TV, Digital Picture Frame, Digital
Camera
- Industrial and Medical Light and Proximity Sensing
The ISL29043 provides low power operation of ALS and
proximity sensing with a typical 136μA normal operation
current (110μA for sensors and internal circuitry, ~28μA for
LED) with 220mA current pulses for a net 100μs, repeating
every 800ms (or under).
The ISL29043 uses both a hardware pin and software bits to
indicate an interrupt event has occurred. An ALS interrupt is
defined as a measurement that is outside a set window. A
proximity interrupt is defined as a measurement over a
threshold limit. The user may also require that both ALS/Prox
interrupts occur at once, up to 16 times in a row before
activating the interrupt pin.

The ISL29043 is designed to operate from 2.25V to 3.63V over
the -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range. It is packaged in
a clear, lead-free 10 Ld ODFN package.

Principles of Operation
I2C Interface
The ISL29043’s I2C interface slave address is internally hardwired
as 0b100010<x>, where “0b” signifies binary notation and x
represents the logic level on pin ADDR0.
Figure 4 shows a sample one-byte read. The I2C bus master
always drives the SCL (clock) line, while either the master or the
slave can drive the SDA (data) line. Every I2C transaction begins
with the master asserting a start condition (SDA falling while SCL
remains high). The first transmitted byte is initiated by the
master and includes 7 address bits and a R/W bit. The slave is
responsible for pulling SDA low during the ACK bit after every
transmitted byte.
Each I2C transaction ends with the master asserting a stop
condition (SDA rising while SCL remains high).
For more information about the I2C standard, please consult the
Philips™ I2C specification documents.
Photodiodes and ADCs
The ISL29043 contains two photodiode arrays which convert
photons (light) into current. The ALS photodiodes are constructed to
mimic the human eye’s wavelength response curve to visible light
(see Figure 11). The ALS photodiodes’ current output is digitized by a
12-bit ADC in 100ms. These 12 bits can be accessed by reading
The ALS converter is a charge-balancing integrating 12-bit ADC.
Charge-balancing is best for converting small current signals in the
presence of periodic AC noise. Integrating over 100ms highly rejects
both 50Hz and 60Hz light flicker by picking the lowest integer
number of cycles for both 50Hz/60Hz frequencies.
The proximity sensor is an 8-bit ADC, which operates in a similar
fashion. When proximity sensing is enabled, the IRDR pin will
drive the internal infrared LED, the emitted IR reflects off an object
(e.g., a human head) back into the ISL29043, and a sensor
converts the reflected IR wave to a current signal in 0.54ms. The
ADC subtracts the IR reading before and after the LED is driven
(to remove ambient IR such as sunlight), and converts this value
to a digital count stored in Register 0x8.
The ISL29043 is designed to run two conversions concurrently: a
proximity conversion and an ALS (or IR) conversion. Please note that
because of the conversion times, the user must let the ADCs perform
one full conversion first before reading from I2C Registers
PROX_DATA (wait 0.54ms) or ALSIR_DT1/2 (wait 100ms). The timing
between ALS and Prox conversions is arbitrary (as shown in Figure 5).
The ALS runs continuously with new data available every 100ms. The
proximity sensor runs continuously with a time between conversions
decided by PROX_SLP (Register 1 Bits [6:4]).

ISL29043
Ambient Light and IR Sensing
The ISL29043 is set for ambient light sensing when Register bit
ALSIR_MODE = 0 and ALS_EN = 1. The light-wavelength response of
the ALS appears as shown in Figure 11. ALS measuring mode (as
opposed to IR measuring mode) is set by default.
When the part is programmed for infrared (IR) sensing
(ALSIR_MODE = 1; ALS_EN = 1), infrared light is converted into a
current and digitized by the same ALS ADC. The result of an IR
conversion is strongly related to the amount of IR energy incident
on our sensor, but is unitless and is referred to in digital counts.
Proximity Sensing
When proximity sensing is enabled (PROX_EN = 1), the internal
IR LED is driven for 0.1ms by the built-in IR LED driver through
the IRDR pin. The amplitude of the IR LED current depends on
Register 1 bit 3: PROX_DR. If this bit is low, the load will see a
fixed 110mA current pulse. If this bit is high, the load on IRDR
will see a fixed 220mA current pulse, as seen in Figure 6.

(IRDR IS HI-Z WHEN

FIGURE 6. CURRENT DRIVE MODE OPTIONS
When the IR from the LED reaches an object and gets reflected
back into the ISL29043, the reflected IR light is converted into
current as per the IR spectral response shown in Figure 11. One
entire proximity measurement takes 0.54ms for one conversion
(which includes 0.1ms spent driving the LED), and the period
between proximity measurements is decided by PROX_SLP
(sleep time) in Register 1 Bits 6:4.
Average LED driving current consumption is given by Equation 1.
(EQ. 1)
A typical IRDR scheme is 220mA amplitude pulses every 800ms,
which yields 28μA DC.
Total Current Consumption
Total current consumption is the sum of IDD and IIRDR. The IRDR
pin sinks current (as shown in Figure 6) and the average IRDR
current can be calculated using Equation 1. IDD depends on
voltage and the mode-of-operation, as seen in Figure 15.
Interrupt Function
The ISL29043 has an intelligent interrupt scheme designed to
shift some logic processing away from intensive microcontroller
I2C polling routines (which consume power) and towards a more
independent light sensor, which can instruct a system to “wake
up” or “go to sleep”.
10
A proximity interrupt event (PROX_FLAG) is governed by the high
and low thresholds in registers 3 and 4 (PROX_LT and PROX_HT).
PROX_FLAG is set when the measured proximity data is more
than the higher threshold X-times-in-a-row (X is set by user; see
next paragraph). The proximity interrupt flag is cleared when the
prox data is lower than the low proximity threshold
X-times-in-a-row, or when the user writes “0” to PROX_FLAG.
Interrupt persistency is another useful option available for both
ALS and proximity measurements. Persistency requires X-in-arow interrupt flags before the INT pin is driven low. Both ALS and
Prox have their own independent interrupt persistency options.
See ALS_PRST and PROX_PRST bits in Register 2.
The final interrupt option is the ability to AND or OR the two
interrupt flags using Register 2 Bit 0 (INT_CTRL). If the user
wants both ALS/Prox interrupts to happen at the same time
before changing the state of the interrupt pin, set this bit high. If
the user wants the interrupt pin to change state when either the
ALS or the Proximity interrupt flag goes high, leave this bit to its
default of 0.
ALS Range 1 Considerations
IRDR
I lRDR ;PEAK  100s
I lRDR ;AVE = -------------------------------------------------------T SLEEP
An ALS interrupt event (ALS_FLAG) is governed by Registers 5
through 7. The user writes a high and low threshold value to these
registers and the ISL29043 will issue an ALS interrupt flag if the
actual count stored in Registers 0x9 and 0xA are outside the user’s
programmed window. The user must write 0 to clear the ALS_FLAG.
When measuring ALS counts higher than 1800 on range 1
(ALSIR_MODE = 0, ALS_RANGE = 0, ALS_DATA > 1800), switch
to range 2 (change the ALS_RANGE bit from “0” to “1”) and
re-measure ALS counts. This recommendation pertains only to
applications where the light incident upon the sensor is IR-heavy
and is distorted by tinted glass that increases the ratio of infrared
to visible light. For more information, please contact the factory.
VDD Power-up and Power Supply
Considerations
Upon power-up, please ensure a VDD slew rate of 0.5V/ms or greater.
After power-up, or if the user’s power supply temporarily deviates
from our specification (2.25V to 3.63V), Intersil recommends the
user write the following: write 0x00 to register 0x01, write 0x29 to
register 0x0F, write 0x00 to register 0x0E, and write 0x00 to register
0x0F. The user should then wait ~1ms or more and then rewrite all
registers to the desired values. If the user prefers a hardware reset
method instead of writing to test registers: set VDD = 0V for 1 second
or more, power back up at the required slew rate, and write registers
to the desired values.
Power-Down
To put the ISL29043 into a power-down state, the user can set both
PROX_EN and ALS_EN bits to 0 in Register 1. Or more simply, set all
of Register 1 to 0x00.
Calculating Lux
The ISL29043’s ADC output codes are directly proportional to lux
when in ALS mode (see ALSIR_MODE bit).
E calc =  RANGE  OUT ADC
(EQ. 2)
FN7935.2
April 28, 2016
ISL29043
In Equation 2, Ecalc is the calculated lux reading and OUT
represents the ADC code. The constant  to plug in is determined
by the range bit ALS_RANGE (register 0x1 bit 1) and is
independent of the light source type.
Table 15 shows two different scale factors: one for the low range
(ALS_RANGE = 0) and the other for the high range
(ALS_RANGE = 1).
be attached to the PCB with a dispensed adhesive. Typical
ISL29043 package height is 0.65 mm (see “Package Outline
Drawing” on page 16) and the inside lower cavity of the baffle is
0.4mm deep. With the cavity depth less than the package height,
the baffle does not reach fully to the PCB surface. This insures
that the internal barrier rests squarely on the top surface of the
package to prevent reflection of the IR-LED illumination toward
the sensor. The example Light Baffle in Figure 7 is shown with a
height of 1.1mm. However, the specific design-appropriate
height varies according to actual system design requirements. If
another material is chosen for a Light Baffle, the material should
be soft and compliant and also should be matte black in finish to
prevent reflection of the IR-LED illumination within a Light Baffle
and surrounding structures underneath the cover-glass.
Noise Rejection
Suggested Light Baffle PCB Footprint
Charge balancing ADC’s have excellent noise-rejection
characteristics for periodic noise sources whose frequency is an
integer multiple of the conversion rate. For instance, a 60Hz AC
unwanted signal’s sum from 0ms to k*16.66ms (k = 1,2...ki) is zero.
Similarly, setting the device’s integration time to be an integer
multiple of the periodic noise signal greatly improves the light
sensor output signal in the presence of noise. Since wall sockets
may output at 60Hz or 50Hz, our integration time is 100ms: the
lowest common integer number of cycles for both frequencies.
The Light Baffle fits down over the entire ISL29043 package. The
lower wall thickness of the Light Baffle around the ISL29043
package is 0.3mm. Therefore, the PCB layout should allow for a
0.3mm clear-zone immediately around the ISL29043 with no
other surface components within this zone.

Proximity Detection of Various Objects
Proximity sensing relies on the amount of IR reflected back from
objects. A perfectly black object would absorb all light and reflect
no photons. The ISL29043 is sensitive enough to detect black ESD
foam, which reflects only 1% of IR. For biological objects, blonde
hair reflects more than brown hair and customers may notice that
skin tissue is much more reflective than hair. IR penetrates into
the skin and is reflected or scattered back from within. As a result,
the proximity count peaks at contact and monotonically decreases
as skin moves away. The reflective characteristics of skin are very
different from that of paper.
Typical Opto-Mechanical Configuration
Typical applications for the ISL29043 involve use under a
cover-glass, or optical window. Typically, these glass components
are not coated to prevent unwanted reflections. Standard glass
and many plastic materials will reflect 4% of the incident light at
each surface. Reflected light emanating from the internal IR-LED
may be incident on the ALS/Proximity sensor and cause
significant DC-Offset in the detected signals. To prevent this
situation, the device should be used with a Light Baffle, as shown
in Figure 7. A Light Baffle prevents unwanted illumination from
the IR-LED from reaching the ALS/Proximity sensors while not
interfering with normal Ambient Light Sensing or Proximity
detection. The Baffle should be the limiting aperture for both the
IR-LED and the ALS/Prox sensor. Care should be taken to insure
there is no other obstruction in the light path.
Operation Without a Light Baffle
For some product designs, it may be advantageous to use the
ISL29043 under the cover-glass without a Light Baffle. For these
applications, it is recommended that the opto-mechanical design
place the top surface of the ISL29043 package in direct contact
with the inside surface of the cover-glass. This configuration
significantly reduces the IR-LED illumination reflection from the
inside surface of the cover-glass and reduces the DC-Offset of the
proximity sensor. For typical operational performance
comparison, Figure 8 shows a graph of the proximity response
for a standard 18% Kodak Gray Card target over a range of 0 to
100 mm for the same ISL29043 device with:
a. No cover-glass,
b. Cover-glass (0.9 mm thick, ~75%T at 850nm) with Light Baffle,
c. Cover-glass (0.9 mm thick, ~75%T at 850nm) without Light
Baffle and in contact with cover-glass, and,
d. Cover-glass (0.9 mm thick, ~75%T at 850nm) without Light
Baffle and spaced 0.1 mm below cover-glass.
Also, it is highly recommended that only IRDR = 110mA be used
when operating the ISL29043 without a a Light Baffle as the
IRDR = 220mA setting may cause a large DC-Offset even with
the ISL29043 placed in direct contact with the inside surface of
the cover glass.
A Light Baffle is made from a soft, compliant plastic, or rubber
material such as urethane, or silicone. The material should be
mechanically compliant since a designer desires it to fill the
separation between the PCB and the cover-glass and should not
produce undue stress on the thin cover-glass. A Light Baffle is
designed to fit completely over the ISL29043 package and may

Typical Circuit
A typical application for the ISL29043 is shown in Figure 9. The
ISL29043’s I2C address is internally hardwired as 0b100010<x>,
with x representing the logic state of input I2C address pin
ADDR0. The device can be tied onto a system’s I2C bus together
with other I2C compliant devices.
The ISL29043 is relatively insensitive to layout. Like other I2C
devices, it is intended to provide excellent performance even in
significantly noisy environments. There are only a few
considerations that will ensure best performance.
Route the supply and I2C traces as far as possible from all
sources of noise. 0.1µF and 1µF power supply decoupling
capacitors need to be placed close to the device.
Soldering Considerations
Convection heating is recommended for reflow soldering;
direct-infrared heating is not recommended. The plastic ODFN
package requires a custom reflow soldering profile pursuant to
Figure 4 in TB489 (Surface Mount Assembly Guidelines for
Optical Dual Flat No Lead (ODFN) Co-Packages).
